Book Description
Use 20 Stories From People Who Met Jesus to enliven favorite Bible stories and to introduce children to puppeteering! Lead kids to discover more about Jesus from the people who knew him best--those he met...like one of the shepherds, Zacchaeus, a Roman soldier, and more! You will get: 2 compact discs with audio for each script. You and your puppeteer friends don't have to worry about digging up sound effects or reading the lines as you perform. It's already done for you! Scripture reference in Table of Contents, Directions for creating a stage, Simple Bible costumes for puppets, Reproducible patterns for props, Reproducible scripts with staging instructions, And a Puppet Primer with tips for powerful and imaginative productions. The twenty scripts you'll find in Instant Puppet Skits have something in common: each features a Bible character who met Jesus and shares a personal insight. John the Baptist tells his would-be, disgusted director that he is not the star attraction, that his purpose was to prepare people to follow Jesus, and while Lazarus tries to collect a refund on his burial, he explains eternal life for those who believe. And you'll find that the scripts have other things in common too: Scripts have no more than four puppets on stage at any one time, and you can re-use the same four "actors" with different costumes to limit the costs of the puppets! Four or less puppets per script makes it easy for you to recruit enough puppeteers! Yet the audience is involved. In "Fish and Loaves", the audience acts the part of the crowd, each of them stuffed with food. After each script you'll find group discussion points in the "For Deeper Learning" section.

Real Puppets, Real Issues
Author: Paul Reed
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1504982053
Category : Crafts & Hobbies
Languages : en
Pages : 143
Book Description
It is no secret that some people are feeling alienated from the church, for various reasons; social status, sexual orientation, or how they dress, among others. For these reasons, as well as others, some have felt compelled to leave the church. The purpose of this book is to minister to those very people; to show them that although the church is not perfect, Jesus Christ is real and alive and will never mistreat them or abuse them; that in His heart there is a place for them too. Perhaps the most important part of ministering to those feeling like there is no spiritual home for them in the church, is to demonstrate that, while the church struggles to exemplify the love of Christ, Christ Himself is still real and is still alive and loves each and every one with a deep and abiding love. It is my hope that those who either read these scripts or see them performed will come to realize that Christ is calling us all and we have only to say Yes!

Book Description
Special Offer! Order now to take advantage of the special price.Do you want drama without the, well, drama? Need something awesome for all-age worship, sketches for schools or just want to bring a well-known Bible story alive with the smack-between-the-eyes relevance it got from Jesus?Fresh scripts launch God's timeless word like a rocket. "Parables as Jesus would have told them - witty, punchy and thought-provoking." Christmas and Easter? Sorted. Some quiet and meditative, some a-pun-a-minute - there's a script for every occasion. Meet Elijah's ravens on holiday. Meet texting angels. Meet the Big Bad Cat. Then slow down and relive Good Friday through the eyes of one who was there - Jesus, remember me. Using puppets to express our doubts and confusions is a great way to address the unasked questions. A grandma confessed after one puppet show that she had never understood that Bible story, until now - Click!Drama isn't just for kids. We take a sideways look at our grown-up busyness with the gameshow 'Real Christian', and perhaps in the laughter we can find a truth. Limited resources? No problem. Based on many years' experience with drama and puppetry for schools, churches and community groups, these scripts are immensely practical to suit your room, rehearsals and recruits. Each script has suggestions for characters and props, and the hands-on hints for staging make drama a 'can-do' option, so you can concentrate on the message.To complete the package, the final chapters outline methods for working with puppets and give pointers for using drama outdoors. There are lots of ideas for constructing your own puppet theatre, with designs from small, roll-away up versions to folding, semi-permanent ones.This is the first in the 'A Bucketful of Ideas' series.

"Time-Travel TV is my favourite script ... I always enjoying routine time travel and 'wiggling'!""The introductions to each script are the keys to their convenience, it was good to know which props to expect, which items were optional and some scripts even gave clear permission to improvise and paraphrase.""Very thankful for the puppet theatres section at the back."

ISBN: 1848250428

Languages : en
Pages : 352
Book Description
Ask almost any priest what his or her biggest headache is and the answer is likely to be 'coming up with ideas for including children in worship'. Here is the answer to those prayers - a whole year's worth of activities and ideas complete with artwork and visual aids. These sixty outlines have been developed and used in an Anglican parish church over the last eight years by a professional educationalist, artist and experienced children's church leader. The worship outlines include simple children's liturgies and a complete lesson or story plan that harmonizes with what the adults are doing in church on the same day. Through fun ideas, children encounter a real aspect of the Christian faith focused on a theme to be found in the Gospel of the day. Each outline includes a variety of options which make them workable with small and large groups of children or single groups of mixed ages. Illustrated throughout, the text and artwork appears on the accompanying CD Rom in full colour for downloading and printing or copying.

Hand to God
Author: Robert Askins
Publisher: Abrams
ISBN: 1468317180
Category : Drama
Languages : en
Pages : 82
Book Description
In the rec room in at a church in Cypress, Texas, Margery leads her students in a puppet pageant to strengthen their faith in the Bible and evade Satan's hand. But when the young members of the Christian Puppet Ministry put those teachings into practice, one devout young man's puppet takes on a shocking personality that no one could have expected. In this hilarious black comedy, a foul-mouthed sock puppet named Tyrone soon teaches those around him that the urges that can drive a person to give in to their darkest desires fit like a glove. In Hand to God, a "true tour de force" (New York Times), Robert Askins has written a play of "unerring perfection" (Huffington Post). The must-see hit of the 2015 Broadway season, starring Steven Boyer and Geneva Carr, garnered an Obie Award and five Tony Award nominations, including Best Play, following its sold out, critically acclaimed off-Broadway runs at MCC Theater and Ensemble Studio Theatre.
